Analisis Penerapan Metode Targhib dan Tarhib dalam Meningkatkan Motivasi Belajar Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of targhib and tarhib methods in increasing motivation to learn Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in elementary school students. The targhib and tarhib methods are Islamic educational approaches that combine promises of rewards (targhib) and warnings of sanctions (tarhib) to encourage positive behavior. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of the study indicate that the application of the targhib and tarhib methods effectively increases students' learning motivation in PAI learning. Targhib is applied through giving praise, appreciation, promises of rewards in the afterlife, gifts, and other positive reinforcement when students demonstrate appropriate behavior or learning achievements. Meanwhile, tarhib is applied in the form of warnings of negative consequences, reprimands, or sanctions that are educational, not punitive, when students make mistakes or demonstrate inappropriate behavior. The implication of this study is the importance of a balanced combination of targhib and tarhib in Islamic education to shape students' character and learning motivation holistically. These two methods complement each other to achieve optimal educational goals, namely producing students who have noble character and have a high enthusiasm for learning.
